Aspirin would have a hard time getting approved by the FDA today

Aspirin would have a hard time getting approved by the FDA today. “The best example is aspirin itself. It’s one of the foundation stones of the drug industry, and it’s hard to even guess how many billions of doses of it have been taken over the last hundred years. But if you were somehow able to change history so that aspirin had never been discovered until this year, I can guarantee you that it would have died in the lab. No modern drug development organization would touch it.” (via Medpundit)
